Open Thread – 3/28/2010

Yesterday I caught up on replies to comments, and returning visits.  I also visited almost every blog in our blogroll.  Today I will not do as well.  I finally got the last of the records I need so I’ll be doing my income taxes today. :-(  Pray for me.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 4:02.  To do it, Click Here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Think Progress: “I like what we have in Massachusetts, despite some flaws,” Romney said. “But what I see in Obamacare is a very different piece of legislation — and one that followed a very different track. In our case, our bill was carried out in a bipartisan basis.”

What a lame excuse.  What made the MA bill bipartisan is that he, the Republican governor, supported what the Democratic state legislature passed.  What makes federal HCR, which is almost identical, not bipartisan is the complete lack of the GOP cooperation Romney himself provided in MA.

From Daily Kos: When Tom Grimes lost his job as a financial consultant 15 months ago, he called his congressman, a Democrat, for help getting government health care.

Then he found a new full-time occupation: Tea Party activist.  […]

Mr. Grimes, who receives Social Security, has filled the back seat of his Mercury Grand Marquis with the literature of the movement, including Glenn Beck’s “Arguing With Idiots” and Frederic Bastiat’s “The Law,” which denounces public benefits as “false philanthropy.”

Well, that certainly shows that hypocrisy is alive and well in the Realm of Teabuggery.

Have a great Sunday.
